Resumen
Descripción
Cattle rearing is important for the livelihoods of subsistence farmers in the Republic of Moldova. Despite great potential to further develop the dairy sector, cattle populations are decreasing and total milk and beef production levels remain relatively low. Neither a national cattle breeding programme nor a performance record keeping system exist, further stifling potential growth. Thus, this project aimed to improve genetic resources in the livestock sector and develop a strategy to manage and monitor animal genetic resources, improve cattle breeding and re-introduce milk quality analyses and performance recording.
